How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.7 kernel-default-base to version 6.4.0-150700.53.81.1.150700.17.45.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-default-base package and not the kernel-default-base package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: pcm: oss: Fix setup list UAF on proc write error

snd_pcm_oss_proc_write() links a newly allocated setup entry into the OSS setup list before duplicating the task name. If the task-name allocation fails, the error path frees the already linked entry and leaves setup_list pointing at freed memory.

A later OSS device open can then walk the stale list entry in snd_pcm_oss_look_for_setup() and dereference freed memory.

Allocate the task name and initialize the setup entry before publishing the entry on setup_list. Also fetch the initial proc read iterator only after taking setup_mutex, so all setup_list traversal follows the same list lifetime rules.
